WHGuy413 2,769 #1 Posted February 3, 2019 So the other day I posted about loosing seat time to my oldest son Aiden who is 9. He plowed a bunch of my parents yard with my 753. Well after seeing that post @ebinmaine generously gave him a plow that I was picking up in New York for him along with a rolling chasis and a snow thrower for myself from @Herder. Well when Aiden got home this afternoon from ice fishing he wanted me to install the plow so he could use it. For the time being it is on my Bronco 14 but once I fix the engine on his 1277 it will be mounted to that. I have wheel weights I am gonna install on it this week since he is so light (I don't have that problem) This summer I hope we can work together cleaning it up and painting it. As of right now tho he is one happy kid. He would still be out plowing in the yard if we didn't have a super bowl party to go to. @ebinmaine thanks so much from Aiden and I since I can now get seat time again! I threw a picture of his 1277 in for good measure. 7 11 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PeacemakerJack 10,743 #5 Posted February 4, 2019 @WHGuy413 thanks for the pics. One of the easy ways to get the younger generation involved in our hobby of to give them opportunities to use these cool little tractors doing “fun” activities like plowing snow, routine yard work, plowing gardens, etc. Whats cool about it is that they are being taught responsibility while helping get chores done! Well done sir. Thanks for the 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 8,973 #6 Posted February 4, 2019 whguy413, the memories and the I can do it mentality, that you have supported with your son, is what its all about. that baseline is vital , yet is totally missing today. stay after it , support it, ask him for input and what he has learned from driving, while you are on a roll ,enhance it ,so its interesting to him, draw him in. good job on that dad , pete 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The generosity and assistance actually began with @Herder giving Trina a tractor and extended to the OP here. @WHGuy413 is the one who offered to pick up the rolling chassis from @Herder in New York for me and cut my trip in half or more. I'm super glad to be a part of this group and those two guys definitely deserve more credit.... 4 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We find that green always grows where we don't want weeds and the grass never grows in the very few places that we would actually like it too. if I could figure out how to switch that around I probably would become an instant millionaire. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
